  3. Hubby booked a room here, then realized airplane tickets were twice as expensive, canceled within an hour of booking. The hotel, the online platform where he booked, our CC, the bank—all refused to refund us. Then, we called the hotel and said we will keep the trip. The hotel refused to honour the booking. We checked if rooms like ours are available and yes, they were. So basically, they stole our money.

  8. Heading there in April, can't wait! Vacations are meant to relax, eat and drink. All-inclusive is the way to go so not expecting much with food, you get what you pay for.

  9. I stayed there last year…. Food is terrible!!!!! Check in and check out was no wait. Rooms were nice. Pool was ok, somewhat dirty.

  16. Went here during covid for 5 nights with my girlfriend paid only like $1000 for the 2 of us at that time…. Resort was huge and gorgeous the rooms were definitely outdated and the food was the most awful I've tried at any all inclusive. Loved the beach/water/adults only pool. I wouldn't go back though

  21. this resort SUCKS now. used to be good, but food realllly sucks. service is terrible, rooms falling apart ..rooms had leaks and no service. DO NOT Stay here. i have been to this resort several times in the past, but it has gone super downhill. its a shit hole now.

  25. Not meaning to hate on your channel, but sneaking into lunch buffets before they close typically ends up in worse food.

  27. I stayed here in the summer of 2022. Amazing facilities and very beautiful. I booked a VIP package which was worth it for check-in because we spent all of 15 minutes or less checking in and getting to our room. BUTTT the food was horrendous. I was with my in-laws with a few kids for a total group of 15. We’re also Latino so you’d think the food would be to our liking but it was by far the worst food we’ve ever had at a resort or on vacation. The specialty restaurants had a long wait even with reservations; they were also not very good. It took an hour for our food to come out and was always cold. Usually I gain weight on a vacation, but I definitely lost weight on this one. We had to fill up on breakfast omelettes in the morning to survive the day. The drinks at the bar were also poorly made. We didn’t figure out that the cigar lounge had an actual bartender. Idk…this place needs to step their game up for food.

  28. Sounds like you do this too much and are spoiled…our family had never been to Punta Cana, we booked this place for 10 days and it was amazing, had a ton of fun, enjoyed all the food. You seem very jaded, maybe take a break from these vids eh?

  31. Damn I wish I had seen this vid before I booked! We are going in Feb 2025. We are staying on the Adults Only side, which in this review looked pretty good, and what we're after in terms of quiet and relaxing, but food if the food is as bad as you say, I'm going to be disappointed for sure. We've been to a good resort in Cuba many times – we adjusted our expectations whenever we were there because we understand in Cuba supply can be very limited, but even so I'd say the food was quite good. I wonder how Barcelo Bavaro compares to the average Cuban all-inclusive…

  32. About the shows: from 9-10 they do something to involve the crowd, like karaoke or something fun, at 10pm they have shows each night with dancers and themed entertainment.
    The Spa: Is beautiful, you can use the other services all day if you purchase a spa treatment, if you book the first 24 hrs you are there you get buy one get one free right now.
    Adult pool on palace side: I didn’t see you review the adult pool on palace side, great bar, close to food, bathrooms and beach.
    Food: it is not 5 star, you can find good things at the buffet, the Japanese restaurant is very good, they might not have the best sushi, but we have gone a few times and everyone likes their meal. Seafood & Italian we pass on all the time, steakhouse is ok. Again, for the money you can’t beat the resort and surroundings.
    They keep the grounds and hotel shared space immaculate.

  34. 1:24 in and I'm already laughing. The "helper/baggage person/whatever" looked at my VIP room and sent me to the normal check-in line and not the premium room. It took over an hour and there were only 4 couples ahead of us, just to be turned away and sent to Premium. I was furious. Oceanfront room I was given had a broken large window frame. The room and bed were completely wet from the humidity. It was like sleeping on a sponge. They had someone "fix it" and it broke within hours. I had it held up by bunched up towels for the remainder of the trip.

    The seaweed was worse when we went in Nov. There 15 ft in and all the way out, nothing but seaweed/black mush. No safe areas. It was terrible.

  36. Can you please keep me up-to-date on where you are staying so I can avoid it. Maybe you’ll get more stuff comped at your next stay.
